The protection of the marine environment is an important item on the national and international agenda. This has resulted in the European Directive (2000/59/EC) “Port reception facilities for ship-generated waste and cargo residues”.

Waste disposal

Prevention of Pollution from Ships ActUnder this directive, ports in the European member states are requiredto draw up a Port Waste Plan for their region. The directive is legally defined in the Prevention of Pollution from Ships Act (Wet Voorkoming Verontreiniging door Schepen, or WVVS) in the Netherlands. In the Port of Den Helder the following Port Waste (Prevention) plan is applicable:

Port Waste Plan Port of Den Helder (HAP)The Port Waste Plan describes the organization, processes,notifications, financial settlement and measures that are required in the Port of Den Helder. The plan requires every vessel to deposit their ship-generated waste and cargo residues to a port reception facility. Port of Den Helder offers facilities for depositing any type of waste.

Financial settlement of waste disposalAccording to the EU, every vessel must contribute financially to the
collection, transport and processing of ship-generated waste. That is
why all vessels must pay a levy, even if they are not disposing waste.
This will reduce the economic incentive of discharging waste at sea. After paying, every vessel will have the right to dispose of their
ship-generated waste. The paid amount is used on behalf of processing
waste on shore.
